Mark Thornton highlights that current quarterly reports show gold and silver miners are highly profitable, with significant margins between costs and revenue. He expects this profitability to lead to share buybacks, debt reduction, and increased mergers and acquisitions within the sector.
“And the right now, the silver miners and the gold miners, uh, their, uh, quarterly reports are showing that they're making lots of money, uh, that the difference between their costs and their revenue is really high.”
